Built by a family with a passion for global travel, they channelled their wanderlust into creating their very own beach cabin. Drawing inspiration from their favourite destinations across the world, they have created a unique, exciting, fun abode that represents a little slice of Surf Coast paradise.

Beautifully presented with oceanic decor, this recently completed home is a place to retreat for relaxation and seclusion, just a 200m walk from the beach and 10-min stroll to Torquay’s town centre.

The coastal boho aesthetic is intrinsic to this home, setting the tone for calm and tranquillity upon arrival at this Surf Coast beach house. From the moment you arrive, you will be greeted by palms, cacti and an outdoor shower. A bamboo fence-line is the backdrop to tropical gardens and relaxed holiday vibes, leading to a backyard that offers restful spots to sit, swing, cook, lay and play.

Additional Information

BEACH HOUSE DETAILS
Created by people who don’t like having the doors closed, the house has been designed to make inside and outside feel like one... the covered veranda is a seamless extension of the home, where rattan furniture, swinging chairs, floor rugs, a bar and a floating lounge beneath the palm trees will make it hard to leave. Add to that a woodfire pizza oven, fire pit, BBQ, dartboard and outdoor games, and there’s seemingly no need to venture beyond the garden gate.

The beach will beckon though, and being only 200m away means you can walk there in your boardshorts for multiple swims a day. No need for the car, bingo.

Inside, the beachside atmosphere has been captured beautifully. Uplifting, fresh white-washed interiors are amplified by high cathedral ceilings and skylights, furnished with natural tones and greenery that envelope you in this totally private lifestyle haven.

Adaptable furniture makes the most of the space; reconfigure the lounge to sit by the fireplace, or open up the bifold doors and sit enjoying the west views over the deck... Convert the kitchen island into a dining table with 6 cane stools. Serve breakfast or arvo drinks from the kitchen servery window to the outdoor bar. It’s a clever and sincere place, with an innate sense of fun and light-heartedness that makes you smile and appreciate the passion that has gone into this family’s project.

The open plan lounge offers a chill-out space, with functionality and comfort. A Smart TV gives you access to all your fave shows, plus wifi and Sonos. Upstairs, the loft offers a versatile living space with a comfy daybed, TV, and built-in desk. Board games, a portable A/C unit, washing machine and dryer are all provided. Immaculately styled, homely and welcoming, the kitchen features all the essentials for cooking at home, including a coffee machine.

Bringing the kids? Too easy. Kids will love being able to explore the backyard with a cubbyhouse and slide, and parents will appreciate the secure, fully fenced yard. The kids will love the bunk room, complete with a desk and toys to make this room their own... Children’s toys, plastic tableware and a small baby bath are all on-site to make family holidays a breeze.

Two more bedrooms include a master with Queen-size bed and bamboo canopy, plus direct access to the deck via French doors. Both this and the 2nd bedroom (Double bed) have Smart tvs with Netflix connectivity. All bedrooms have an abundance of natural light and space and are beautifully appointed with hotel quality sheets and bath towels, making your stay as pleasurable as possible. The central bathroom has a pebbled walk-in shower and large vanity with brushed brass tapware.

Master Bedroom – King Bed
Bedroom 2 – Double Bed
Bedroom 3 – Single Bed, Plus Single Trundle
This is your space to unwind, whilst enjoying all the convenience of being close enough to walk or ride to the beach, parks, local shops and cafés. Family-friendly White’s Beach, Fisherman’s Beach and Cosy Corner are on your doorstep, while Torquay Back Beach and scores of waves are on offer for experienced surfers all the way to the famed Bells Beach.

By sharing their pad with others, the owners can get back on the road themselves, and let guests experience “The Hideaway”. Their ethos is for everyone to be able to enjoy what they have created, including their local knowledge so you have the most amount of fun in Torquay. Pet friendly, by request.

We absolutely loved our long weekend stay at The Hideaway Torquay. Beautiful clean house and loved all the little touches throughout, everything you need, love that it's pet friendly including a doggi...e door to outside. Literally 5 minutes across from the gorgeous dog friendly beach. Kids loved all the games and activities inside and out including their own little movie room area upstairs. We made some delicious pizza's in the pizza oven and toasted marshmallows every night. Thank you to the wonderful host Lucy for an amazing stay - we would definitely come again!

All in all a great place to stay for our family of 3. The location is great, close to the beach, playgrounds, shops and cafes. The house was well equipped for a family with an 18 month old, including ...a secure backyard. Lucy is incredibly responsive and helpful, she made sure our time there went seamlessly (thank you Lucy). Unfortunately the weather stopped us from utilising the outdoor facilities but we stayed warm and cosy inside. Whilst the outside area is well equipped, it could do with a bit of pruning as some plants are a touch overgrown making it a little more difficult to use the boardwalk and kids play equipment. Thank you so much for having us, we will definitely be recommending your place to other families.

It's no joke - the property is across the street from the beach.

Experience some of the best surf in Victoria for advanced riders along the Great Ocean Road. From Bird Rock, the world-renowned Bells Beach, Winki Pop, Centreside or Cathedral Rock. Along the coast there are good surf spots at Johanna, Cumberland River, Wye River, Baldy Rock, Skene's Creek, Sawmills and Kennett River.

Ironbark Track

This is one of the most scenic hikes in the Great Ocean Road, this is for sure. Not just because of the Aboriginal History surrounding the track, but the amazing views from the top of the hill. I suggest this activity to everyone, even my little one of 2 years old could walk around safely.

P.S. Always watch yourselves around the cliffs, those are dangerous.

Point Addis Beach

Point Addis Beach is one of the best spots around Torquay. Full of tracks, great for surf, and pet friendly. You can enjoy morning walks with your puppy, experiencing the raw nature and the sound of the ocean.
